Bekti sings for Euro 2008 album

Features News - Wednesday, June 18, 2008

JAKARTA: TV presenter Indra Bekti, formerly a member of the now-defunct boy band FBI, has been chosen by recording company Sonny-BMG to sing the song "Goal" for its compilation album dedicated to Euro 2008.

"I have to be honest with you, this is a dream come true for me," Bekti, who hosts the famous talkshow Ceriwis with Indy Barend on Trans TV, said as quoted by Antara.

He said the opportunity given to him by the recording company was a "blessing", which could pave the way for him to make a comeback to the music industry.

He said he had been disappointed by FBI, the vocal group he and two fellow models set up, adding he was the only one who had seriously promoted the group until it disbanded in 2003.

The Euro 2008 album would also feature local hip hop band St. Loco and a number of international artists, including Trix & Flix feat. Shaggy ("Like A Superstar"), Donna Summer ("Stamp Your Feet"), Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean ("Hips Don't Lie"), Gloria Estefan ("Rhythm Is Gonna Get You"), Ricky Martin ("The Cup Of Life/La Copa De La Vida"), Britney Spears ("Outrageous") and Il Divo with Tony Braxton ("Time Of Our Lives"). -- JP

AN INCREDIBLE RED BLOG... IMPRESSIVE

 Monday, June 16, 2008

A MAGICO ASSEMBLE OF ONE OF THE BEST AND HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL GROUPS NOT ONLY IN THIS UNIVERSO BUT ALSO PAST THE GALAXIA YET NOT MANY OF OUR GENERACIONES WOULD REALLY EVEN TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT WOULD SURPASS PAST GENERACIONES ESTANDAR DE MUSICA

This is the cover of il divo's first album-IL DIVO

i dun think that many of the ppl from our generation would really appreciate this kind of musique genre, especially in terms of the singers singing in foreign langue-which is what actually makes them so bueno.The singers are of different heritages and backgrounds, yet despite them being(left to right)-swiss(urs buhler),american(david miller),french(sebastien izambard) and spanish(carlos marin), their voces assembled together is more powerful than a flock of nightingales pouring their hearts out.They do songs in many genres that include español,francés, italiano and inglés.one day they might even sing in chino=).so hurry, get their albums and be bolted right into the realisation that il divo would clamber over groups like click 5,eminem,etc.personally, my favorito is the american tenor david miller,whose voz just keeps you right on the edge of your seat.His remarkably high range of tone compliments spanish baritone(in between bass and tenor)carlos marin perfectly.Boy, go i hope il divo would come to singapore to promote the album which they are currently in the process of recording.¡la primera fila etiqueta por favor!

I'm proud to be Irish but Dublin's full of phoneys

I'M proud to be Irish, but Dublin is just full of phoneys these days. It struck me this week how there's more wannabes in Ireland than anywhere else in the world.

For a small town, there's just so many of them. I've never encountered so many wannabe models, popstars, TV presenters, actresses, WAG's, it's just gone crazy and none of them have the talent to back it up.

Everybody annoys me - they're all going around wearing dark sunglasses and thinking they're A-listers or something. And then we're having all these TV and style award ceremonies, which are a total joke.

There's no style in Ireland. The best thing about Irish people is that they're Irish and here they're going around trying to copy Americans. It drives me crazy

All the newspapers this past week have been going on about Sharon Osbourne leaving X Factor.

We started filming the show yesterday and I have to say, I'm going to miss her so much. I talk to her daily, we're best friends and the best thing was, she took absolutely no c**p from Simon Cowell. He couldn't handle her because she's very strong and independent - you never knew what she would say or do.

We weren't always friends for the first year or two, we were at each other's throats. The time she flung the glass of water over me on-air, that wasn't staged. She really meant to do it. Now I love her to bits and Kelly and Ozzy are such a laugh.

I think Cheryl Cole's going to be brilliant on the show. After all, she came from a show like this as she started off in 'Popstars: The Rivals'. Cheryl's very feisty but I think she will be sympathetic to the people coming in and auditioning for us because she knows exactly how they feel. Plus, she has the whole drama with Ashley going on in her private life so people will be tuning in just to see if he pops up in the audience or something.

I love the weekends in Dublin and my favourite place to go out right now is Krystle. It has the best-looking girls in the country hanging out there and Brian and Conor always look after me.

I brought Il Divo down there after the Celine Dion concert and their tongues were hanging out all night, they couldn't believe how many gorgeous girls there were.

I watched the Miss Universe Ireland contest last Sunday night. TV3 put on a brilliant production but there were just so many clones on the stage. All the girls looked like Barbie dolls. I'm one of the judges in the Miss Ireland competition as I'm good friends with Krish Naidoo.

I was one of the judges in the Miss World before and it was great craic.

Mondays, I usually spend catching up on my TV programmes. I watch a lot of the American shows like Riches and Dirt. I've just started watching 'Damages' starring Glenn Close and it's just fantastic.

I'm a bit of an insomniac, I don't do early mornings so I stay up late a lot watching CNN and Sky News, I'm addicted to it.

On Tuesday, I went down to my favourite place to hang out, Espresso Bar on St Mary's Road and I caught up on my calls, went through the papers and met a few people for lunch. I bumped into Dustin and his manager Darren Smith and they were telling me all the gossip from Eurovision.

Dustin's not hanging his head at all after his defeat, he said it was the best week ever. Yet I think he should move to London and forget about Dublin. He would get a lot more work because he's an unknown, he's absolutely wasted here.

On Wednesday, I had to do loads of interviews because we're starting X Factor again. I had to get up at 7am to do a phoner with GMTV, as well as Fern (Britton) and Phil (Schofield) and then in the afternoon I met Lorraine Keane for an interview on Xpose. Westlife flew over to Italy as well to perform at Wayne Rooney's wedding and they were looking forward to that.

Yesterday, I flew over to London to start auditioning and I'm filming here for the next three days. They're putting me up in the Hempel Hotel, which is owned by this Irish guy, Michael McBride, and I love it.

It meant I missed the launch party for the new club, Residence, but it couldn't be helped. Simon Stokes gave me a membership card and I think it's a great idea, Dublin is crying out for somewhere like this.

I'm going to spend this evening and the rest of the weekend filming at Wembley for X Factor. I think it's going to be the best series yet, we had 17,000 people in one of the places queuing up to audition, it was madness.

It's probably because of how well Leona and Shayne Ward are doing. It's c**p to say the public are fed up with reality talent shows, the viewing figures are still massive. And unlike some other contests, our show actually produces real stars - and that's what it's all about.

• AL COMPÁS DEL DEPORTE…

  Por: Alberto Villanueva

  LOS TEMAS DE LA EURO

  Los temas de la Euro… dirigidos más a sentimientos generales que al deporte

•  

• CIUDAD DE MÉXICO, México, jun. 09, 2008.- Ya en diferentes ocasiones hemos dedicado colaboraciones a las diferentes canciones oficiales de la Euro y sus versiones anteriores.

  Para el evento que comenzó este fin de semana se escribieron tres temas, los tres tan válidos como el último que presentaron: Can you hear me?, de Enrique Iglesias.

  Existe confusión, pues a los organizadores de diferentes justas importantes les ha dado por lanzar temas y temas que ya los melomanos deportivos no sabemos cual es el bueno. Para empezar les digo que "Like a Super Star" fue la primer canción que el comité organizador presentó y es, en opinión propia,  la mejor de todas las que están sonando en Austria-Suiza 2008. Esta rola es la oficial de las mascotas Trix y Flix.

  La segunda se llama "Feel the Rush", un tema un poco extraño por el ritmo, demasiado caribeño,  acompañado de un acordeón que cualquiera pensaría que es el mismísimo Egidio Cuadrado (acordeonista de Carlos Vives y considerado uno de los mejores de Colombia) pero no. Es un acordeón tradicional de la zona alpina de Austria y Suiza al que el beat de la música obliga a esos acordes.

  Y la última, como lo mencionamos líneas arriba es la de Enrique Iglesias, quien no se identifica con la Euro mas que por ser español porque la letra tampoco hace referencia a la justa deportiva.

  Pero, no hay porque rezongar, porque no es la primera vez que esto sucede. Desde Suecia 1992  "More than a game" del canta-autor  sueco Peter Jöback, "Campione 2000" de su compatriota E-Type y "Forsa" de Nely Furtado, en la pasada versión del torneo en el 2004, han sido dedicadas al futbol pero en el 1996 "We're in this together" tampoco hablaba de este tema pero sí de los valores y sentimientos de tener una experiencia importante como una Euro.

  En los Mundiales de futbol ha pasado algo similar. En Alemania, por ejemplo, El himno oficial del evento lo interpretó el alemán, Herbert Gronemeyer: "Cebrate the Day". Y la canción oficial fue de Il Divo (los intérpretes) "Time of our lives" (la cual tampoco se refería al futbol).

  Pero la que más pegó fue "Love Generation" compuesta y producida por el francés Bob Sinclair e interpretada por el legendario Gary Pine, miembro de The Wailers, el grupo de Bob Marley. Acompañado en la segunda voz por Sinclair. Este tema fue el oficial de la mascota pero gustó más.

  Así es que les sugiero que sólo se dejen llevar por cada canción  y adopten la que más les haga sentir la pasión del futbol. Que al fin y al cabo siempre suena..."Al compás del deporte".

Un ejeano saca su primer CD lírico

Nacho Luna, en el centro de la imagen.

09/06/2008
Ayer y Hoy en Cinco Villas

Nacho Luna, de Os Trobadors, ha publicado el primer CD de estilo lírico producido por el propio grupo.

    El grupo de música Os Trobadors, formado por el ejeano Nacho Luna y los zaragozanos Jesús y Alfonso, ha publicado su primer disco titulado “Touché”. Sale a la venta este martes, 10 de junio, en Ejea y la producción ha corrido a cargo del propio grupo. “Todo lo hemos hecho nosotros. Ha sido mucho trabajo pero hemos tenido mucha colaboración de amigos”, explica Nacho Luna, residente en Ejea pero nacido en Sádaba.
El cedé, en el que han colaborado músicos de la talla de José Miguel “El Baño” o Ricki de la Bogus Band, contiene una serie de canciones que buscan emocionar al oyente, “hemos versionado temas de los años 50 y 60, canciones de Il Divo y música italiana” comenta Nacho Luna, quien recalca que también hay canciones compuestas por el grupo, “tenemos el ejemplo de Touché que es la canción que da nombre al disco, y que ha sido relegada a un segundo puesto por Vamos Zaragoza, que está siendo un verdadero bombazo”.
El tema “Vamos Zaragoza” los escribieron para el concurso del programa de la televisión aragonesa “Avispas y tomates” pero todo quedó en agua de borrajas cuando suspendieron el concurso, “es más la canción tiene todas las características que se pedían en el concurso, y escucharla durante estos meses en la Romareda, el you tube, ha sido una gran sorpresa” comenta Luna.
Este trío de cantantes líricos de voces privilegiadas, que tienen su nexo común en el servicio de correos de la capital, ha estado trabajando duro cerca de año y medio para sacar a la luz este disco que se espera sea una revelación musical.
Mientras tanto Os Trobadors seguirá enseñando su buen hacer por las localidades aragonesas, “Hemos cantado en un montón de sitios, sobre todo en Zaragoza. También en Erla, Pinsoro, etc., pero nos gustaría poder hacer un tour más amplio por la comarca” nos dicen los componentes.

So Simon, what made you decide to sign Escala?

EXCLUSIVE £1.5M DEAL

By Seah Hamilton Showbiz Editor  8/06/2008

String quartet Escala were feeling bow-led over last night after signing a £1.5million deal with Simon Cowell.

He told the Britain's Got Talent girl finalists he wants to make them "as big as Il Divo" - his four handsome tenors who have sold 26million albums around the world.

Chantal Leverton, 25, Victoria Lyon, 24, Izzy Johnston, 24 and Tasya Hodges, 26, will soon be recording their first album. A source said: "Simon has had his eye on Escala. They are gorgeous and talented."

As the Sunday Mirror revealed, Escala, then known as Scala, played last year's X Factor Christmas party. BGT judge Cowell was not there. But his team did invite them to enter the contest.

Music mogul Cowell is also in talks with finalists Faryl Smith,12, and choirboy Andrew Johnson, 13.

Meanwhile winner break-dancer George Sampson, 14, has revealed he is visiting Los Angeles to hone his skills.

Celine Dion fans had waited 10 years for the superstar to return to Australian stages.

Dion hit the stage that night minus the surgical mask that's been her constant companion in her quest to avoid germs while holed up in her Australian hotel rooms. "If you have to get sick, let it be in Australia," Dion said. That million-dollar voice of hers appeared match fit as she hit her trademark glass-shattering high note in All By Myself.

However, it was on that evening relatively cold, which led to that Céline has abandoned on costume change and was wearing only one outfit all evening long.

CONCERT IN KUALA LUMPUR

On April 13, 2008 Celine Dion performed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at Stadium Merdeka. This concert also was part of "Taking Chances World Tour".

The show kicked off at 8.50pm with vignettes of Dion’s many music videos shown on two large screen placed at the sides of the stage. The singer got things going with the fast-paced I Drove All Night, followed by one of her smash hits, Power of Love. Dion then extended her apologies to Malaysians for postponing the show, which had initially been scheduled for April 8, saying that she had fallen ill while performing in Australia.“Thank you for being understanding and for giving me another chance to perform here tonight,” said Celine, as the audience cheered her on.

On May 30, 2008 Celine Dion performed at the “Croke Park” in Dublin, Ireland in front of about 64,000 people. This concert was part of “Taking Chances World Tour”. This concert has the special guest of Il Divo, but the group did not sang with Celine. Il Divo performed during one hour right, and then started Celine. Celine performed the regular tracklisting of the tour and the song “Shadow Of Love” (not performed on every concert). The stage was on a side of the arena, as the concerts in Asia and Africa, not on the center as the rest of shows in Europe on May, 2008. This concert was very criticized by the fans, who waited for changes in the songs and of course songs in duet with Il Divo. Around 150 gardai policed the concert with another 400 stewards on duty.

CONCERT IN AMSTERDAM

On June 2, 2008 Celin Dion performed at the "Amsterdam Arena" in Amsterdam, Netherlands in front of about 51,000 people. This concert was part of “Taking Chances World Tour” and Celine performed the regular set list of the tour among "Fade Away" and "The Prayer" in duet with Andrea Bocelli via satellite. The introduction was different indeed, for this concert it was used world tour footage instead of career highlight. The stage was in the middle of the Arena again and had a couple of big screens surrounding the stage. The show was projected on those screens, so everybody could have a good view of Celine. In the middle of the stage were four screens that formed a block. Images were projected on those screens that gave the show extra flair. A very effective way to create extra dimension to the songs. Celine's last time in the Netherlands was nine years ago and the public was really happy that she was present again.

CONCERT IN COPENHAGEN

On June 5, 2008 Celine Dion performed at the "Parken Stadium" in Copenhagen, Denmark in front of about 34,000 people. This concert was part of "Taking Chances World Tour".

GANADORES DEL PRIMER PREMIO EN CONCURSO DE JÓVENES MÚSICOS

Dos 'todoterreno' de la música

A Mariló Valsera e Isidro Parejo les apasiona la música y no les importa tocar varios palos con tal de triunfar en este mundo

FRAN HORRILLO

Además de ser ambos de Villanueva de la Serena y de compartir juventud, a Mariló e Isidro les une la misma pasión. Y es que al preguntarles por lo que supone para ellos la música, los dos no titubean y coinciden punto por punto en su apreciación: «La música es nuestra forma de vida. No entendemos nuestra vida sin la música, ya que en ella pensamos las 24 horas del día». Por el momento no provocan los gritos histéricos que entre sus fans despiertan los 'triunfitos', aunque quizás su trabajo sea más duro pero menos agradecido que el de los chicos de la Academia. Sin embargo, seguro que es igual o más gratificante. Y es que tan pronto pueden estar cantando o tocando en una boda, como en un concierto en cualquier centro cultural de la geografía española. Mariló Valsera e Isidro Parejo se sienten músicos, aunque a la vista de sus currículos realmente deban considerarse más como unos auténticos 'todoterreno de la música'.

Varios palos
El caso es que Mariló e Isidro ejemplifican a esa generación de jóvenes extremeños que se está curtiendo en los conservatorios o escuelas municipales de música y que no dudan en tocar varios palos ya que realmente su verdadera vocación es la música. Pero la música en estado puro, y no en plan 'vedettes'.

En definitiva, que todo triunfo no viene solo y estos dos jóvenes con su trabajo demuestran que el que quiere y se lo curra da la nota musical en varios ámbitos.

Her heart may go on, but it's lacking in passion

By Declan Cashin
Monday June 02 2008

What a week for Irish gal pals. Within days of the opening of the 'Sex and the City' movie, along came another pop culture juggernaut geared toward the female of the species.

For make no mistake about it: the ratio of females to males who turned out at Croke Park last Friday to see Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion must have been 15:1.

There were hordes of pink and white limos parked outside the venue, while the stands all blended into one bubblegum-coloured mesh of feather boas and pink cowboy hats.

Slick pop-opera princes, Il Divo, warmed up the crowd with a well-received set that established the tone for the extravaganza of cheese that was to follow soon after.

Dion arrived on stage just after 8.30pm, looking the best she has in years, clad in a short, tight pink dress.

She immediately dove into her cover of Roy Orbison's 'I Drove All Night', a lively opener that had the 64,000-strong crowd on their feet by the first chorus.

The backlog of Dion classic power ballads were all dug out to body-swaying, hand-waving approval -- 'The Power of Love', 'Think Twice', 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now' -- but it quickly became clear that there is something distinctly lacking in a Dion show.

That missing element is heart -- ironic considering the title of her biggest hit, 'My Heart Will Go On', which served as the closing number. Dion has an extraordinary voice that can hit notes like few others, but that concentration on her powerful chords comes at the expense of passion.

It also rankled that a huge proportion of the show was devoted to middling cover versions of Aretha Franklin, Queen, Tina Turner and James Brown. Surely she has enough of her own material to fill a show? Also, her attempts at dancing were unintentionally entertaining, while her interaction with the crowd between songs died a death.

Still, she got a huge cheer at the end, so her fans must have been pleased. But the Dion experience for me was summed up in a text message I got from a fellow concert-goer mid-way through. It read: 'Don't talk or dance Celine honey -- just sing'.

Actually, he didn't say that she didn't interact enough, he said 'her interaction died a death'. Which to me sounds perfectly in line with his closing statement about not talking, just singing. If you're going to tell Cashin to 'do his homework' then at least read the review properly.
It's a very balanced and fair review, I think, as he gives credit where it's due rather than just predictably bashing her for the sake of it.

sadley this review is what I can only call crap. The review states that celine does not interact enough between songs, and then at the end a text is recieved saying celine dont talk just sing. er? stupid man......
Also Celine has been singing the Tina Turner song for years now, do your homework mate.

Voces y pianos en conjunción

Cuatro voces, cuatro pianos...

Por: Juan Zapata Pacheco, Martes, 20 de Mayo de 2008

Baroni es un conjunto de cuatro voces del bel canto, con un programa de música internacional, desde el repertorio clásico hasta la música del cine.

Por otro lado, Pianorchesta es un grupo de cuatro pianistas acompañados de bajo y batería, que proveerán el robusto soporte instrumental a los cantantes.

Ambas agrupaciones presentarán un recital este miércoles 21 de mayo a las 20.30 horas, en el Teatro Universitario de la Unidad Mederos de la UANL, un concierto que, a decir del director Juan de Dios Aguilar, traerá sorpresas a los asistentes.

“Empezamos con Carmina Burana, luego sigue “La leyenda del beso”, “Las bodas de Luis Alonso”, que va con los pianos, luego una canción napolitana que es “Funiculi Funiculá” y sigue el “Huapango” de Moncayo y “Granada” de Agustín Lara”.

La segunda parte, con temas de películas, incluirán la proyección de escenas selectras de las cintas aludidas, como “Castillos de hielo” o “Titanic”.

La parte final incluirá temas de la agrupación Il Divo.

“Baroni, Tenores Ópera Pop es un concepto que, aparte de lo que hace Il Divo, que es el referente más cercano que podemos tener, hacemos más cultura, cosas de ópera, zarzuela, napolitana, cosas que la gente normalmente no escucha tan seguido con estas voces de bel canto”.

Los integrantes de Baroni son originarios de Monterrey, e incluyen a David López, tenor egresado de la Escuela Superior de Música y Danza, al igual que el barítono Raymundo López, quien ha interpretado al “Fantasma de la Ópera” en la Ciudad de México.

Complementan el ensamble Juan Manuel Pérez (tenor) y Javier Magallanes (barítono).

Por otro lado, Pianorchesta incluye a Alonso Julián, José Luis Rivera, Carlos García y el propio Juan de Dios Aguilar.

“Yo un tiempo estuve como director de un proyecto que se llamaba Diez Pianos”, explica Aguilar, “y entonces cuando terminé mi ciclo ahí me di cuenta que podía lanzarme como productor y director de mi propio grupo y fue de donde se originó primero Baroni y luego Pianorchesta”.

Aguilar es egresado de la Escuela de Música de la UANL, y ha participado como solista con la Orquesta Sinfónica de la UANL y la de la Universidad de Guanajuato.

También ha sido director del Coro de Cámara de la Iglesia de Corpus Christi.
